"One of the most pristine tropical jungles on Earth, mostly uninhabited, well-developed water systems, hot and rainy temperatures, rampant poaching, considered by the exploration community to be the most difficult jungle to explore."
It is the largest basin in Africa and the largest in the world, the Congo Basin. In the vast expanse of land, there are vast swamps and tropical jungles where hippos and elephants, lions and cheetahs, giraffes and buffalo, crocodiles and killer bees live with all kinds of animals you want or don't expect. But for explorers and biologists, it's a fascinating box where you never know what to find in this pristine jungle, where countless people have paid for their lives or health, but there are also plenty of people who discover new species that are unheard of in the world and become famous overnight.
If the Congo Basin in Africa is a crown, then Lake Terry is a jewel in this crown, a vast and mysterious body of water. Very few people have ever reached Lake Terry because it is quite remote. Much of the surrounding swamp forest has never been explored. It is said that someone has seen large animals there that resemble live dinosaurs. Over the past century, expeditions have come to investigate the rumors, and some even claim to have captured the evidence with cameras. In 1992, a British expedition took some photographs of mysterious reptiles. Then, a Japanese photography team captured from the air a huge creature swimming on the surface of the lake. Scientists have speculated that these may be mutated giant snakes or other species, although there is no strong evidence, but it is said that the real animals here are almost all poisonous, and even the world's most poisonous Gabonese viper.
Care must be taken to navigate this jungle, because any inadvertent touch can be an attack, it can be fatal — even a small plant.
I remember in the movie "Out of Africa", Dennis told Garren: "In Africa, you can see farther at night than anywhere else, and the stars in Africa are brighter." "The jungle here is a world of grassy animals, and in this airtight tropical jungle, wild animals are the real protagonists.
Only primitive African peoples who are well versed in the laws of the jungle and possess profound jungle wisdom can fully integrate their tribal life with the jungle. Tourists from the civilized world are absolute interlopers, and in this incomparably complex world, it is possible to encounter unexpected dangers at any time: dealing with armed factions and cruel poachers who are extremely unstable, crossing rivers with crocodiles, hippos and other murderous beasts, elephants, leopards, poisonous vipers, dangerous animals all gathered here, as well as unpredictable weather and terrible tropical infectious diseases, and even those inconspicuous small insects and strange plants can be deadly killers. You don't even understand the way these deadly toxins are released, bites? air? water? touch? Or dissolve into a cut wound?
Our ancestors once triumphed over the barbaric law of the jungle and went to the civilized world. And can people from the civilized world today and return to the jungle once again overcome the law of the jungle and get out of this wild world full of dangers?
